  1. all the manuals are on the clifford website
  2. Supergolfs stil sel them. Those ones in the pics are only 7.5" wide. not sure whether a corrado can handle 9x16's all round?
  3. I dunno, I put in the chains out of my 50K engine as I'm fully rebuilding that one. They come to about £200 all in. It looks like the engine has had them replaced in the past anyway, as the imtermediate pulley was 180 degrees out.
  4. Les Hicks 01590 610631 LMAO! Dimma cages are pants, they are SO badly made and hang off the seat belt bolts! :lol:
  5. I wouldn't know, Haynes do do a manual for a VR6. What's so hard about taking the gearbox off anyway? it's only a few bolts. I took the engine and gearbox to do the chains so I could do it in the garage instead of sitting in the engine bay outside in the cold.
  6. nope, all you could change with the box on would be the cams and their sprockets. it's a box, clutch and flywheels off job to do the chains. stupid design really.
  7. Simple, 280mm G60 discs, and G60 or early VR6 calipers and carriers, job done. (except pads of course, but you'll be buying them with the dics anyway).

    VR6 Problems

    I'd stiff suspect the coil pack. Try spraying water on it in the dark. Examine the resin between the lead posts for hairline cracks.
  10. why is is brown!!?!? :shock:
  11. I've got one somewhere, I just haven't found it yet.
  12. same colour as mine! I might have it as a spare :D
  13. There's only one lower chain :D That one's dead easy (providing you can get the bolt off the imtermediate shaft, it's tightened to 72lbs/ft, ty keeping that one still whislt you crack the bolt off!). I took a few pics so it should make sense when I get time to write something up.
  14. Honestly, there's nothing to be scared of in there. I'll do a proper write up for the FAQ section.
  15. on a VR6. as per usual, the top portion of the anti friction material on the upper tensioning blade had snapped off way before it'd worn through. Still, not bad for 110K. Took the 268 cams out too. I've got VR6 chains off to a fine art now, I could do it with my eyes closed I reckon! 8) Pics soon, as well as a few tips on timing up a VR6.
  16. Mine are terrible. so I bought new Champion ones, and they still barely touch the glass in parts. WTF??? :cry:

    cv joints !!!!

    sounds more like an engine mount if it's on/off throttle related.
  18. Well, there's a Club GTI meet on tonight at the Squinting Cat pu, Whinney Lane, Pannal Ash, Harrogate if anyone fancies coming along?
  19. Ah, well if you've got a FMIC then I guess there a reason for the bumper. Not got a problem with that.
  20. I reckon we should have a group buy on Samco VR6 hoses. Anyone up for that?
  21. Leave the stock one on, RS bumpers stink.
  22. Stereo and alrams fitters are scum. I've never met one who can do the job neatly. Just because it's all hidden behind the dash they think they can make as much mess as they want. For anyone considering getting an alarm or stereo fitted, remove the shelving under the dash before they come, and hide it away. that way, you'll be able to see what he's done before he goes, and if it's a mess, make him do it again or refuse to pay. Don't let them hide all the mess and walk away. Handy hint on the spolier wiring though, cheers.
  23. £5K!!! I'm amazed it wasn't written off!! bodyshops are utter c*nts, I hate dealing with them. my mk2 spent nearly a year in one in the 4 years it was on the road.
